Chapter 762 Refusal to Make Peace
When Lu Zhigang heard this, he thought of Jia Ruyi, and two ideas popped into his mind.

First, Dawuzhou reacted very quickly and took action quickly. Second, the relationships between these aristocratic families are really complicated and intertwined.

As soon as Zhou You returned, Jia Ruyi's family had already found the Liu family in the city and were finding their way to Lu Zhigang in a roundabout way.

During this period, the business cooperation between Daqian Martial Arts School and Wanli Numahai was no secret.

With the Insect Killing Alliance as a prelude, the news that Zhou You and Lu Zhigang had put aside their past grudges and were working together became widely known.

Therefore, the Liu family did not come forward for fear of offending Zhou You, but let Lu Zhigang take the lead.

"Brother, do you know who they are looking for?"

Zhang Huaimin shook his head, "It is said that it was a strong man who offended Zhou You."

"Then do you know what Zhou You did before he came back from abroad?"

Zhang Huaimin reacted slowly, "Is there something fishy going on here?"

"At the border of Dawu Province, Zhou You killed seven strong warriors alone, including a strong warrior master of the fourth level. He also forcibly defeated a strong warrior alliance of more than 7 people and captured their leader and brought him back to the capital."

"Brother, the Liu family asked you to come here so that I can ask Zhou You for the captured leader."

After Lu Zhigang finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Do you think I have such a big face?"

"What?"

Zhang Huaimin jumped three feet high in surprise. He had been mentally prepared before coming here, but he didn't expect that the trap dug for him by the Liu family was so big.

Rashly getting involved in a dispute at the level of powerful warriors was already dangerous for him as a mere martial arts disciple. Now that he knew that Zhou You was so fierce and had killed so many powerful warriors, he even asked Lu Zhigang to come to his house to ask for his life on behalf of the Liu family...

It is no exaggeration to say that if he was not Lu Zhigang's sworn brother, this Duwu Venerable would have killed him on the spot.

"I really didn't know this beforehand, Your Excellency, no, Zhigang, you know me well."

Zhang Huaimin nervously said, "I don't have any big ambitions. I'm already old, and I'm just living a life of idleness and waiting to die."

"The benefits of aristocratic families are too hot to handle!"

Lu Zhigang said earnestly, "After this incident, if you want to regain your freedom, I can negotiate with the Liu family on your behalf."

"Next, I have a lot of business dealings with Daqian Martial Arts School and I'm in need of a middleman. If you don't mind, you can bring your disciples to help. At least we won't have to worry about food and clothing."

Zhang Huaimin was about to cry, "Zhigang, I made friends with you for nothing."

Lu Zhigang sent Zhang Huaimin away and asked him to take a message back to the Liu family. He would choose a day to visit them and discuss the matter in detail.

The location was set at the Liu family manor outside the city. After all, Lu Zhigang was the biggest poison lord in the local area and a walking drug warehouse. The Liu family might not be willing to have him visit them, so it was safer outside the city.

On the day of the meeting, Lu Zhigang only brought a few followers. He was not a person who cared about ostentation, and the Liu family did not dare to hold a grand banquet for him.

The person responsible for receiving him was Liu Fengji.

"Venerable Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Lu Zhigang and Liu Fengji have a "friendship". When Liu Fengji went to Zunyang City for training, he encountered the invasion of wizards and almost fell into the hands of the enemy. It was Lu Zhigang who risked his life to escort him and his servant back.

However, a series of events that happened later diluted this friendship.

When they met again, both had become powerful warriors, and the huge gap in status was eliminated.

"Master Lu, congratulations on your great improvement in strength."

As soon as they met, Liu Fengji presented generous gifts, including five kinds of ancient strange poisons and a group of insect eggs, which were said to be the "colorless jellyfish" on the list of strange insects.

These two items are the most precious of the Poison Wu, which are rare to come by for Lu Zhigang. "Thank you for the generous gift!"

Lu Zhigang has now turned to practicing the Infant Phoenix Swallowing Dragon Art. Strange poisonous objects can be used to practice poison palms, which can feed back into the realm of martial arts, and the demand for them is also great.

He accepted the other party's gift and changed the subject, "I have carefully thought about the matter that your family asked my brother to entrust to me."

"Well, I can tell Zhou You about this, but please forgive me for not being able to help persuade him!"

Liu Fengji was slightly surprised. How could this be possible? What they wanted was Lu Zhigang to help explain the situation and persuade Zhou You to release the people.

There was a different attitude within the Liu family regarding rescuing Jia Ruyi.

A group of people led by Liu Jinguo did not agree to offend Zhou You for the sake of the Jia family far away in Dawu Prefecture, and proposed to stay out of it.

However, Liu Fengji had a close relationship with Jia and could not refuse when the time came, so he had to agree.

I heard that Jia Ruyi has been imprisoned in the martial arts hall by Zhou You.

Anyone who wants to save people must break into the Daqian Martial Arts Hall, which will undoubtedly greatly offend Zhou You.

The result of the battle in Dawuzhou has already spread to the provincial capital, and everyone is stunned by Zhou You’s powerful strength.

Although Jia Ruyi was fooling around, his Dawu Alliance actually had more than 20 strong warriors, but they were defeated by Zhou You alone, and the leader was captured alive and escaped.

Which noble family would not be wary of such a person, fearing that he would do the same to them?

Therefore, Liu Fengji thought of asking Lu Zhigang to act as a middleman to persuade Zhou You to release the people.

If it works out, everything will be fine. If it doesn't, there is also a buffer in the middle so as not to hurt each other's face.

However, Lu Zhigang clearly refused to take on this responsibility.

Liu Fengji felt a little headache. Why did things become so difficult?

He could not offend Zhou You, nor could he afford to offend Lu Zhigang. The Du Yan opposite him was not a down-and-out folk warrior, but a ruthless man who replaced Du Taiyue and dominated the Wanli Swamp Sea, the new generation of Poison Lord.

If they really offend the other party, the Liu family, with its large wealth and large population, will never have peace.

"Master Lu, can you really not help to mediate? My Liu family is willing to do our best to meet all your requests."

Lu Zhigang waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. Zhou You and I have a long history. Now that we can finally work together, it's time to make up for the past rift. How can I create discord for someone else?"

"Venerable Liu, I will meet with Zhou You in a few days to discuss the details of the cooperation. I will find an opportunity to convey my opinions."

Liu Fengji was about to say something, but Lu Zhigang simply said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but this gang is helping without knowing the reason. If things go wrong, I might get myself involved. It's not worth it!"

"How do you say that?"

Lu Zhigang looked at Liu Fengji seriously, "Venerable Liu, I believe that if it's not the Liu family, then it must be the Jia family, who will definitely try to rob us if they can't get what they want."

"You two families are very powerful and are not afraid of offending Zhou You, but I am not. I will mediate between you today. If someone breaks into Zhou You's martial arts gym someday, I, Lu, will not be able to explain myself even if I have a hundred mouths!"

Liu Fengji's eyes flickered. What he said hit the nail on the head. They actually had this idea.

But after the falling out, the fate of Lu Zhigang, the middleman, was no longer considered.

He couldn't help but sigh that Lu Zhigang was a real man. He was not blinded by greed and was willing to protect himself. But this would change their plans.

"Please trouble Venerable Lu to make this trip."

"Go slowly, don't see me off."
